Clayton: Hey everyone, Clayton here at etrailer.com. And today I'll be taking a look at, and I'll show you how to install a PTC engine air filter on our 2016 Kia Sorento. Our engine air filter filters that air coming through our air box into our engine. Now, over time, these filters get built up and that build up on the filter, just causes our engine to work a little bit harder. So changing this routinely gets cleaner air to our engine and it doesn't have to work as hard long-term.Like I said, this should be changed routinely. I personally change mine every oil change, just to make sure that my engine doesn't have to work any harder than it already is.
This filter is awesome because it has a nice silicone gasket around the outside to keep all that air coming through our filter and none of that air is going to actually miss our filter.It's made of a white medium articulate phonetic 00:00:46 . The white medium articulate is pleated and what these pleats are going to do is catch 90% of dirt or debris coming through our air box. Our filter is actually made out of plastic, so it's pretty rigid. So that means it's not going to collapse in our air box. Now that we've gone over some of the features, I'll show you how easy it is to get this installed.Now, coming to our engine compartment, you're going to see this plastic cover here that says, pull.
We simply just pull this back. There's going to be a couple of tabs on our old air filter. We're going to push those to unlock and simply pull our filter out. This is our old filter. On the top here it really doesn't look that dirty, but when you flip it to the bottom, you can see how much dirtier it is.
There's a lot of dirt and debris in this filter. So it's definitely time to change it. That way our engine can run a lot cleaner.We're not ready to install our new filter. We want to make sure our tabs are in the unlocked position. You can to move that over to our air box.
Simply drop it in. As you can see that gasket didn't sit quite all the way. You just have to flex a little bit and make sure it's pushed all the way down. Clip our tabs into the lock position and flip our air box cover back on and snap it in.With our new filter installed, we're ready to hit the road. That's going to do it for our look at and installation of the PTC engine air filter on our 2016 Kia Sorento..
